AFTER  A ROUGH  PASSAGE,  BROWN,  JONES,  AND  ROBINSON  ARE  HERE  SEEN  LANDED  AT  OSTEND,  SURROUNDED,  AND  A LITTLE  BE'f/ILDERED 
BY  THE  NATIVES,  WHO  OVEE^raELM  THEM  WITH  ATTENTIONS — SEIZE  THE  LUGGAGE,  THRUST  CARDS  INTO  THEIR  HANDS,  DRAG  THEM  IN  SEV'ERAL 
DIRECTIONS  AT  ONCE,  ALL  TALKING  TOGETHER  (WHICH  PREVENTED  THEIR  DIRECTIONS  BEING  SO  CLEAR  AS  THEY  OTHERMHSE  WOULD  HAVE 
BEEN) — AND,  FINALLY,  ALL  EXPECTING  MONEY'  ! 


THEY  ARE  AT  THE  DOUANE,  WAITING  PDR  THE  OFFICIALS  TO  SEARCH  THE  LUGGAGE.

COMPANY  ON  BOARD  THE  RHINE  BOAT. 


AMONGST  THEM  WAS  A TRAVELLING  TUTOR,  AND  THREE  YOUNG  GENTLEMEN,  HIS  PUPILS.  HE  STOOD  IN  THE  MID.ST  OF  THEM  SMILING 
BLANDLY,  AN  OPEN  VOLUME  IN  HIS  HAND,  (PROBABLY  A CLASSIC  AUTHOR,)  BETWEEN  WHICH,  AND  HIS  PUPILS,  AND  THE  SCENERY,  HE  DIVIDED 
HIS  ATTENTION  IN  ABOUT  EQUAL  PARTS.  THERE  WAS  A SPECIMEN  OF  THE  ENGLISH  GRUMBLER,  BIG,  BURLY,  AND  AS  IF  IN  DANGER  OF  CHOKING 
FROM  THE  TIGHTNESS  OF  HIS  CRAVAT.  EVERY  ONE  KNOWS  HIM,  HIS  PLE-CSANT  WAYS,  AND  HIS  CONSTANT  FLOW  OF  GOOD  HUMOUR  AND  CHEER- 
FULNESS ; TH.AT  IS  HE,  SITTING  TO  THE  RIGHT.  THERE  MERE  BESIDES,  NUMEROUS  YOI  NG  GENTLEMEN  FROM  THE  UNIVERSITIES,  FROM  THE 
ARMY,  FROM  THE  B.AR,  ALL  M ITH  MORE  OR  LESS  HAIR  ON  THEIR  UPPER  LIPS  ; AND  THERE  M'AS  A CAV.VLRY  OFFICER  OF  THE  RUSSIAN  GUARD,

PIPES.  AND  THERE  M’AS  A BRITISH  NOBLEMAN,  AND  A BRITISH  .ALDER.MAN,  AND  A BRITISH  ALDERMOMAN  ; AND  THERE  WERE  BRITI.SH  LADIES 
M HOM  I can’t  DESCRIBE,  BECAUSE  THEY  M ORE  THOSE  “ UGLY  ” THINGS  M lIICH  PREVENT  THEM  BEING  SEEN  ; INTELLIGENT  YOUNG  AMERICANS  ON

ALL  THE  WAITERS  RUSHED  IN,  THINKING  THAT  THE  HOTEL  WAS  ON  FIRE,  OR  THAT  A REVOLUTION  HAD  BROKEN  OUT. 

THERE  HE  STOOD,  POINTING  TO  THE  WATER,  ABOUT  HALF  A PINT  IN  A BASIN  THE  SIZE  OF  A BREAKFAST  CUP  ; AND  IN  A VOICE

HOW  A CITIZEN  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES  ADDRESSED  BROWN  ; AND 
HOW  HE  PUT  THE  FOLLOWING  QUESTIONS  DURING  THE  FIRST  FIVE 
MINUTES  OF  THEIR  ACQUAINTANCE. 

1.  “avhere  are  you  going?” 

2.  “what  place  do  you  hail  from?” 

3.  “conclude  you  go  toe  FRANKFORT?” 

4.  “you’re  MR.  EROAVN,  I RECKON?” 

5.  “what  names  DO  YOUR  FRIENDS  GO  BY?” 

STATEMENTS  MADE  DURING  THE  SAME  PERIOD. 

1.  “this  here  RHINE  AIN't  MUCH  BY  THE  SIDE  OF  OUR 
MISSISSIPPI.” 

2.  “OLD  EUROPE  IS  ’tARNALLY  CHAWED  UP.” 


ROBINSON  WAS  VERY  MERRY  ABOUT  THIS  INCIDENT  AND 
BOTH  HE  AND  JONES  KEPT  POKING  FUN  AT  BROWN  DURING 
THE  REST  OF  THE  DAYY  THEY  PARODIED  THE  WELL  KNOWN- 
SONG  OF  “ MY  heart’s  on  THE  RHINE,”  SUBSTITUTING  “ MY 
hat’s  in  the  RHINE  ; (iT  WAS  VERY  POOR  STUFF,  WE  HAA-R 
BEEN  ASSURED  BY  BROAVN)  — AND  THEY  MADE  POINTED 
ALLUSIONS  TO  THE  NAME  OF  “ AVIDE-AAYAKE.”

ROBIXSOX  HERE  WROTE  HIS  CELEBRATED  LETTER  TO 
THE  “times,”  on  THE  SUBJECT  OF  THE  DEFICIENCY  OF  SOAP 
AND  WATER,  FROM  WHICH,  AS  WE  HAVE  SEEN  IN  A FORMER 
PAGE,  HE  SUFFERED  SO  GRIEVOUSLY.  IT  WAS  CONCEIVED  IN 
TERMS  OF  INDIGNANT  ELOQUENCE  ; AND  DREW  A TERRIBLE 
PICTURE  OF  THE  STATE  OF  SOCIAL,  POLITICAL,  AND  RELIGIOUS 
DEGRADATION  INTO  WHICH  A COUNTRY  MUST  HAVE  SUNK, 
WHERE  SUCH  THINGS  COULD  BE  TOLERATED. 


.AS  THEY  WALKED  THROUGH  THE  TOWN,  BENT  UPON  SEEING  THE 
ARIADNE,  AND  UNCONSCIOUS  OF  DANGER,  SUDDENLY  AN  OBJECT  .APPEARED 
IN  SIGHT  THAT  FILLED  THEM  WITH  TERROR.  IT  WAS  THE  “ BORE  ! ” 
STEPPING  JAUNTILY  .ALONG  ON  THE  OTHER  SIDE  OF  THE  STREET.  TO 
HESITATE  WAS  TO  BE  LOST  ! SO  THEY  PLUNGED  INTO  THE  NEAREST  SHOP 
FOR  PROTECTION,  AND  STOOD  THERE  BREATHLESS  WITH  EXPECTATION  AND 
FEAR.  PRESENTLY  JONES — PUTTING  HIS  HE.AD  VERY  GRADUALLY  OUT — 
RECONNOITRED,  AND  FINDING  ALL  SAFE  THEY  RESUMED  THEIR  WAY. 


ROBINSON  THINKS  IT  “THE  THING”  TO  ENCOURAGE  NATIVE  INDUSTRY  WHEREATIR  HE  GOES,  AND  SO  BUYS  A GERMAN  PIPE.

THE  ABOVE  WILL  GIVE  SOME  FAINT  IDE.A  OF  AVIIAT  THEY  PICTURED  TO  THEMSELVES 


THE  REVIEW. 

Erown,  Jones,  and  Robinson  have  arrived  at , the  capital  of , a small  German  state  (we  won’t  say  which,  as  it  would  be 

giHng  it  an  undue  distinction,  and  might  offend  the  others). 

They  have  been  received  with  distinguished  consideration,  the  “ local  ” paper  having  announced  their  arrival  as  Count  Robinson, 
Sir  Brown,  and  the  Rev.  Jones.  They  have  been  invited  to  be  present  at  a grand  review,  and  Robinson — who  amongst  other  neces- 
saries in  those  portmanteaus  of  his,  carried  a uniform  as  Captain  of  Yeomanry — thought  that  this  was  just  the  proper  occasion  to  appear 
in  it.  Accordingly,  he  rode  on  to  the  ground  upon  a charger  (hired),  in  the  character  of  a warrior,  with  a solemnity  of  countenance 
befitting  the  scene  and  his  country,  and  accompanied  by  Jones  (also  mounted),  but  in  the  costume  of  an  ordinary  individual  of  the 
period.  Brown  preferred  going  on  foot.  That  is  Robinson  in  the  centre.  .Just  at  the  time  when  he  ought  to  be  riding  up  the  line, 
inspecting  the  troops  with  the  Grand  Duke  and  his  staff — his  horse  (a  “disgusting  brute,”  as  Robinson  afterwards  described  him, 
“who  could  not  have  been  in  the  habit  of  carrying  gentlemen”)  suddenly  stood  on  his  hind  legs,  in  the  very  middle  of  the  field,  so 
that  his  rider  was  forced  to  cling  on  to  him  in  an  absurd  manner,  in  full  view  of  the  army,  the  people,  and  the  court. 

R.  at  that  moment  earnestly  desii’ed  that  the  earth  might  open  and  swallow  him.

FROWNING.  JONES  RECEIVED  HIM,  SMILING.  — THE  SOLDIER  MADE 
PLAY  WITH  HIS  MUSKET  : JONES  PUT  IN  HIS  LEFT.  THEY 

CLOSED,  AND  A TERRIFIC  STRUGGLE  ENSUED,  IN  THE  COURSE  OF 
WHICH  JONES  GOT  HIS  ADVERSARY’S  “ NOB  ” INTO  “CHANCERY.” 


VI. 

THEN,  CONSIDERING  THAT  JUSTICE  AND  THE  HONOUR 
OF  HIS  COUNTRY  WERE  ALIKE  SATISFIED,  HE  RETIRED, 
LEAVING  THE  BODY  OF  HIS  ANT.VGONI3T  ON  THE  FIELD. 


V. 

THE  SOLDIER,  AT  THIS  POINT,  UNABLE  TO  USE  HIS  ARM.S,  TOOK  TO  HIS 
LEGS,[AND  ADJIINISTERED  a .series  of  KICKS  UPON  THU  SHINS  OF  JONES,  Wild 
IN  RETURN  SEIZED  HIM,  LIFTED  HIM  IN  THE  AIR,  AND  THREW  HIM. 


VII. 

SHOWS  THE  “body,”  ON  DI.SCOVERING  THAT  LIFE  WAS 
NOT  EXTINCT,  ATTEMPTING  TO  RISE. 

P.S. — HE  W.AS  LAST  SEEN  MAKING  FRANTIC  EFFORTS  TO 
REGAIN  HIS  FEET,  AND  SEEMINGLY  PREVENTED  FROM  DOING 
SO  BY  THE  WEIGHT  OF  HIS  KNAPSACK,  AND  OTHER  ACCOU- 
TREMENTS

VIII. 

JONES  WAS  Late  at  bkeakfast;  he  found  robikson  reading  “calignani,”  and  brown  looking  out  op  window, 
and  after  giving  them  an  amusing  account  op  the  fun  he  Had  had,  was  just  sitting  down  to  the  table,  when 

BROWN  SHOUTED  OUT,  “BT  JOVE,  THEBE  IS  A REGIMENT  OF  SOLDIERS  COMING  DOWN  THE  STREET  I" 


IX. 


at  first  JONES  WA.S  incredulous;  but  PRESENTLY  BROWN,  HIS  HAIR  STANDING  ON  F.ND,  RUSHED  TOWARDS  HIM, 
AND  IN  A VOICE  OF  AGONY,  CRIED,  “ AS  SURE  AS  WE  ARE  ALIVE  THEY  HAVE  STOPPED  IN  FRONT  OF  THE  HOUSE,  AND  THE 

OFFICER  IS  COM  ISO  IN/” 


BADEN.

IT  WAS  TOO  TRUE.  THE  SOLDIERS  HAD  COME  TO  LOOK  AFTER  THE  EXGLISHMAN  M^HO  HAD  ATTACKED  AND  BEATEN 

THEIR  COMRADE. 


xr. 

AFTER  A FEW  MOMENTS  OF  BREATHLESS  SUSPENSE,  THE  OFFICER  ENTERS — JONES  STANDS  LIKE  A MAN  ABOUT  TO 

STRUGGLE  WITH  ADVERSITY.

XIV. 

THEY  GAIN  AN  AUDIENCE  OF  HIS  EXCELLENCY  THE  BRITISH  MINISTER,  AND  ASK  HIS  INTERFERENCE  IN  BEHALF 
OF  A PERSECUTED  COUNTRYMAN. 

M E ARE  HAPPY  TO  ADD  THAT  THE  INTERFERENCE  WAS  QUITE  SUCCESSFUL.  JONES  WAS  LIBERATED  IMMEDIATELY, 
AND  SHORTLY  AFTERWARDS  THE  BRITISH  MINISTER  FOE  FOREIGN  AFFAIRS,  IN  A DESPATCH  TO  THE  GERMAN  MINISTER 
FOE  THE  SAME,  EXPRESSED  HIS  CONVICTION  THAT  “ THE  WHOLE  CIVILISED  WORLD  REPROBATED,  WITH  ONE  VOICE, 
A SYSTEM  AT  ONCE  TYRANNICAL  AND  CRUEL,  A REMNANT  OF  THE  DARKEST  AGES  OF  MAN’S  HISTORY,  AND  UTTERLY 
UNWORTHY  OF  THE  PRESENT  ERA  OF  PROGRESS  AND  ENLIGHTENMENT.” 

OUR  FRIENDS  WERE  .\DVISED,  HOWEVER,  TO  LEAVE  THE  COUNTRY  AS  SOON  AND  AS  QUIETLY  AS  POSSIBLE.  THEY 
DEPARTED  ACCORDINGLY.

YOUNG  LADY  (IN  A WHISPER).  — “HE  IS  COPYING  THE  TINTORET.” 
Y'OUTHFUL  SON  AND  HEIR  (WITH  CONFIDENCE). — “NO,  HE  AIn’t  ;

GOOD  — V-E-R-Y  GOOD.  AHEM!  NOW  I WONDER  WHAT  ONE  COULD 
MAKE  A YEAR  BY  THAT  KIND  OF  THING.” 

YOUNG  MAN  (WITH  GLASS  IN  HIS  EYE).  — “SLOW,  I SHOULD  THINK.” 
AT  THIS  POINT  BROWN’s  ATTENTION  WAS  ATTRACTED  TO  A SCUFFLE 
GOING  ON  BEHIND  HIM  AMONGST  THE  JUNIOR  ME.MBERS  OF  THE  PARTY. 
TWO  OP  THE  LITTLE  INNOCENTS  HAD  TAKEN  A FANCY  TO  THE  SAME
